Galleries: Sculpture

We are surrounded by man-made materials and objects fabricated by obscure factory process. While all the great carvings of the world have been made essentially the same way, by reducing a block of stone to reveal the form inside, often by hand. This reductive simplicity and the wonderful variety of stones with their geological history of our landscape are what attracts me to the art.

A sculpture which is part inspired by Chinese imagery and partly through Carlo Rovelli's musings on the 3sphere which best describes the shape of the universe.

Leaping fish
